According to whom?

If it works the way they claim it is indeed very private.

GOS says everything is terribly insecure

What about games like Fortnite? Are they rewarded?

I wasn’t trying to make any sort of argument why they should be doing that, only why they are.

I honestly don’t know how to be more clear. It’s called a social graph. The most important thing about a social network, above everything else (for normies), is having lots of users. Cory and Molly both know and understand that if they left Xitter, they would lose access to a substantial amount of their audience, so they both stay, despite being some of the platform’s harshest critics and the biggest supporters of it’s alternatives. That’s the answer to the question “why would anyone use it?”. The social graph.

Once again, not talking about Mastodon

You’re missing the point. Ask yourself why those people are still there.

However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons

You’ll find that Elon’s companies do this a lot…

Look at Tesla’s website:

1. “Full Self Driving” despite absolutely nothing of the sort even existing.
2. Their acceleration numbers are faked by adding 60-ft rollouts to them.
3. Fake prices shown to customers with government incentives and random guesses at gas savings factored in.
4. Entire FSD demo videos completely faked.
5. Faked FSD driving statistics

No

For the most part, no. Check out areweanticheatyet

Last I checked Deadlock has banned Steam Deck (and anything that looks like Steam Deck).

I mean J2C is one of the smaller of the big tech YT, if that makes sense.

LTT has gone on the record several times that they won’t cover Linux at all again until Steam OS gets a wide release (which probably won’t happen until Nvidia gets their shit together).

GN has discussed it several times but they remain straddling the fence.

MKBHD doesn’t really cover much gaming stuff and 0 PC stuff (only Apple 🤢).

Austin Evans next, maybe?

They don’t want due process.

Yes and you’re advocating for what they want, which makes you just as bad as them. Everyone has a right to due process, not just nice people.

I don’t think history has ever shown that the government will prosecute agents of the law for doing what the government told them to do.

There’s also a whole lot of evidence that hangings don’t work.

We were talking about Xitter, not Mastodon…

Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

People. Lots of people. Including Doctor Cory Doctorow and Molly White.

I dunno what that is but as I explained, it’s already fixed, but thank you.

I havent used it for anything because the GPS doesn’t work for some reason…
